I'm reading The New Dead, which is an anthology of zombie stories. One is by Max Brooks, who wrote World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide and one is by Stephen King's son. Some of the stories are about zombies only by some very stretched definitions, but on the whole it was good. One story hurt my brain to read, but other than that the stories were average to great, and one in particular (the longest of the bunch) was, to be honest, nothing short of incredible.

I have about three or four left until I'm done.

Donate to the In a Galaxy Far, Far Awry campaign to help launch the greatest superhero comic/comedy series you'll read about this second! Tell your friends and that guy over there!

I have given up on the previous two reads, will get back to them in the new year.

Currently going through The Jedi Path, which arrived yesterday in Collector's edition!(As a present, completely unexpected, which was nice.)

Also A Short History of Myth, by Karen Armstrong, which has been waiting on my bedside table for a while. And The Hurricane Party, by Klas Ostergren.Should get onto Jung's Man and his Symbols soon, or my work won't budge..

Wishful thinking. On my part, anyway...

But why? Do people wish there could be a life after death (No offence to varing religons) even If it is as a shambling body that craves brains

Eh, don't let it bother you too much, godzillabot. If it helps any, I've never been too fussed on zombies either.

Moving along, I just bought two novels from the Space Marine Battles series, Battle of the Fang and The Purging of Kadillus. Since I've always found the Dark Angels to be pretty interesting, I got stuck into the latter. And I have to say that I'm really enjoying it. I almost can't put the darn thing down!
